Hi 👋🏻 I am Stella Marrali, Junior Frontend Developer and Digital Marketing Specialist.

I recently relocated to Skien and I am building my long term future in Norway. I am currently studying Norwegian at A1 level with the University of Oslo and I practice every day with the goal of becoming a colleague who communicates comfortably in Norwegian.

I am an open minded and curious person who genuinely enjoys learning new things. I am not afraid of studying or training and I appreciate companies that provide an initial onboarding period. This helps me understand the workflows, tools and cultural expectations so I can align quickly and contribute in a way that is respectful, effective and valuable for the team.

My background combines web development, marketing, operations and people focused work. I completed the full SheCodes training path in frontend development and I am now in the professional Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp. I also bring over 10 years of experience in marketing, copywriting, healthcare, customer service and business management.

I build clean, responsive, user friendly interfaces using modern frontend tools. My focus is to create web applications that are not only visually pleasant but also practical and easy to maintain.

• APIs & data: REST APIs, JSON, browser storage, basic Python for data handling
• Tools & workflow: Git, GitHub, VS Code, Netlify, Vercel, Google Workspace

Marketing & Copywriting experience

Before moving into tech I worked as a Direct Response Marketing Specialist and Copywriter, mainly for Italian SMEs. I designed full funnels, email sequences and campaigns with a strong focus on measurable results.

Selected systems I worked on:

• Wedding venue funnel (B2C): complete lead generation system for a luxury wedding location with landing pages, guarantees, 20 email sequence, Facebook and Google Ads, sales video scripts and offline materials.
• Jewelry retailer funnel (B2B): acquisition system for corporate clients with multi page website copy, sales letter, brochure, guarantee, follow up emails, offline gift package and phone scripts for staff.
• Construction sector funnel (B2C): marketing system for renovation projects with 20 email phases, Facebook and Google Ads, landing pages, offline kit with brochure, guarantee, testimonial book and scripts for calls, referrals and feedback.

These projects strengthened my ability to understand customer psychology, structure communication flows and support sales teams with clear, practical assets.
